Hosted by Midge Cozzens, President CIT, Linda McCarthy, Executive Security Advisor to Symantec, Betty Pierce, President of Secure Network Systems, and Rina Delmonico, CEO/Founder of REN, Inc. We are inviting executive women involved in advanced technologies and in leadership positions to attend. The purpose of the roundtable is to discuss issues about women and technology, how to identify and address barriers successfully, especially the perceptions women have that technology is not for them and the deeper issue that women are not pursuing math and science.

Crisis Collaborative Gaming Exercise
Have you ever wondered how you personally, as well as how your team would work in a time of crisis? Here's your chance to find that real-world answer in a "Crisis Collaborative Gaming Exercise". In 90 minutes teams will explore and experience the communication challenges that cause controversy, miscommunication, distrust, doubt, frustration, blame and a diverse mixture of other conflicts that create emotional and rational barriers.

We assess, we plan, we test the software and the equipment, but we seldom train and test the people.

Whether it's Homeland Security, Cyber Security or another Organizational Crisis, the solution rests on the people and the execution. This exhilarating game helps build a foundation for effective leadership in time of chaos. The entire Cyber Security Super Bowl is highly interactive and hands-on. The game is challenging and fun; the debriefing after the game is invaluable.

Teams of five are formed. There's an extra benefit if you bring your own team, but there will be a number of teams you can join on the spot. Kari Nelson, founder RECESS and Warren Lotzbire, security analyst facilitate. For information on gaming at your event contact w3w3. It's an exciting learning experience. The game starts on time and there is a space limitation. Let the Games Begin !!

Future of MONEY and Its Security:
The top futurists at the DaVinici Institute will discuss and answer your questions about the challenges of the changing world of money. Some futurists predict a virtual collapse of the current system. Others suggest a gradual morphing, and others claim it's the dawn of an exciting new era, a new paradigm. Tom Frey, founder of the DaVinci Institute says, "Industry leaders today are being challenged by a new generation of bright, savvy entrepreneurs who are ready to shake the foundation of the existing money systems."
